Summary
The sixth novel in Julia Quinn's globally beloved and best-selling Bridgerton Family series, set in Regency times and now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. Welcome to Francesca's story....
In every life, there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one’s life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London’s most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca’s surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere 36 six hours longer - the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.
But that was then.... Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love...until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets....

Critic reviews
"Julia Quinn's Bridgerton books take all of the classic tropes we know and love...and gives them a thoroughly modern twist. I can't focus on anything else." (Stylist)

One of the better ones
I’ve found the Bridgerton series a bit hit and miss but for me this was definitely one of the better ones. A good depiction of the issues that can crop up around conception. And I was actually able to stay interested in the romantic story arc.

I am moved!
I think this is my favourite book by far. Francesca's storyline was written with the right amount of fun, love, pain, poignant, and faith. perfect example of 'time heals all wound' or 'finding love' again.'
I am so moved by her longing to bear a child - I made me cry. I felt for her. I felt her pain.
To this end, I think I will stop watching the Netflix series because this storyline is written beautifully, and I was it to stay that way.

Okay
The story started really well but became tedious towards the end, especially the parts where Francesca kept resisting Michael's marriage proposal when she was already compromised. Too many chapters were dedicated to this, should have been less. Otherwise, it was a good story.

This has to be hands down my favourite book of the series so far. It’s made me smile, laugh and even bought a lump to my throat!

Good listen
I didn't think that this book was going to be that good , but it was awesome. It became quite addictive. The narrator suited the book. Will read another Bridgerton.

By far the best book so far
I had started to get tired of the Bridgerton books as the men just got more arrogant, sexist and unlikable but this one really turned it around for me. Love the characters and story is engaging.

what a good book!
i’m positively delighted and impressed with this book, it completely stood out from the rest of the series, much like francesca stands out from the rest of her family.
the characters are so real and their struggles so deeply human, and oh my finally a man in the bridgerton saga who is not an utter and complete a-hole! i really didn’t expect that after all the borderline abusive treatment of women desolated in the previous books. but michael is just perfect in every sense, with feelings and emotions that are not just candid, but somehow truly mesmerizing. there is also a big psychological element to this story, with themes of grief and infertility heavily influencing the story, which elevates the romance to this kind of analysis of human behaviors in love of sorts.
it’s also super racy and hot which i cannot say i didn’t enjoy A LOT. and the narrator’s scottish accent was so delightfully hilarious it probably deserves a review of it’s own. i grew to really love the narrator with her wee funny voices and trying to sound as “masculine” as she possible can.
overall it’s a very good book, romantic, smart, emotional and surprising and completely different from the rest of bridgeton. there were some other in the series that i thoroughly enjoyed, but all in all i feel like it was all leading to this beautiful story, which, and i cannot stress it enough, i really wasn’t expecting considering francesca’s absence in the previous books and her appearing to be the boring and shy one of the bunch. nothing further from the truth! she’s a woman who knows exactly how to take control and i just have to be absolutely head over the hills in love with her and this book
